Fifty million brilliant ideas…
I had fifty million brilliant ideas today. Some days you’re just popping aren’t you? Needless to say all these brilliant ideas conflicted with work because as I had them I emailed people who knew people who did this and that and if I mentioned this name or that I’d get a good price. Networking baby, it’s all the rage and the key to it? Talk to people. Listen to them. It doesn’t take much and it opens many doors and it costs nothing but being able to strike up a conversation. Just think, all those years ago, when I got thrown out of Music class for talking, and yeah, there was that time in Home Economics, I was actually practising future networking.

Joggly bits…
So, at lunch, I was talking to a male friend about men wearing skirts. He said it was a good idea because in the extreme heat, wearing trousers, can be hot, confining and lead to ball shrinkage. Okay, he didn’t say ball shrinkage but something along the lines of joggly bits and pieces getting all hot and bothered but not in a good way. That got us talking about kilts. He thought this was a good solution. Yes, but when kilts were actually in their hey-day, when people like my Scottish ancestors were running amok around the Highlands (Wick, Caithness) they didn’t wear undies. He didn’t see this is a concern as men, as you know, are happy to go naked and let things hang out. I then said ‘yeah but what about going into battle, running over hills and rocks, and fighting knowing your joggly bits are indeed joggling all over the place and not contained by undies?' Yes, this would present a problem. Solution? Possibly wear a kilt but don’t run or jump in it. If you get into a fight while wearing one? Maybe have a five minute cease fire to put undies on then fight.

Just a moment?
I was talking to a very wise author who’s been in this writing business for about the same time as me – about 7 years. She said something to me the other day that has stuck in my mind. It was along the lines of ebook readers don’t want to read romance as much anymore. It’s all about ‘the act’(sex). Yeah. I can see that. The more pornographic, the more interest. Is that a bad thing? I don’t know. Probably depends on do you want everything you can get or do you just want a moment?

I run. I think. I am....
I don’t believe we think enough. We’ve been dumbed down by the media and apps that everyone must have to be like everyone else. I’m not everyone. I’m unique. I run. I think. I am. I will be.

Could you find a real man please then email me back...
So, I get this patronizing email from this IT twerp in the Sydney office asking me had I checked the wiring on the fax machine or did I still have an issues getting down onto the floor to do it and did I need a man to do it? I emailed back –
1. Not my job to check wiring
2. I’m not and never will be ever paid enough to crawl around at work.
3. The ‘man’ who should have done this job over a month ago still hasn’t so that indicates to me that probably getting ‘a man to do it’ would be a good idea and as soon as you could find an real one and not a simulation, then ask him to drop by.
The response back - ‘Ok’ and a smiley face. Wanker. Who breeds these men?

Out Now - Deadly Single, The Outcasts....
https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-deadlysingle-1161023-149.html
Lois Cantwell is an outcast. She is a single woman trying to survive in a deadly world where the rights of women have eroded under the dictates of the Jacobson Committee. She helps those who cannot help themselves.
Tuck Morris is in love with Lois. So much so that he takes on an undercover assignment from the Committee in order to save her life and help them escape the world they live in.
The problem is, Lois isn’t going to be happy when she finds out she’s being manipulated by the one man she thought was different.
All women past the age of twenty-one must be married to a male or in a monogamous, sexual relationship with another female constituting a partnership that has been sanctioned by the Jacobson Committee.
All women must have at least one child unless they can prove they are medically unfit to conceive and have received pardon from this law. If a woman is found to be pregnant and unmarried and refusing to marry, she will be incarcerated during the term of her pregnancy and the child will be taken from her.
Any woman found to be unmarried without reasonable cause – i.e. – physical impairment or gross deformity that cannot be surgically corrected or expected to be endured by a man – will not be allowed government benefits and will not be allowed access to banking facilities and hospitals.
Proof of marriage is to be carried at all times by all women. Those women without proof or found to be unmarried will be considered to be loitering with the intent to cause dissension among the female population and will be arrested

Brand New Key, pair of roller skates
I heard this again tonight and it reminded me of my mother. She said this song always reminded her of me with the phrase "some people say I've done all right for a girl."
Yeah – I have
Nice.

Hmmm....
So, I was discussing with a friend if your ultimate dream person – male or female – suddenly crooked their finger and said ‘I want you now, for just one wild night of mad, passionate, unforgettable, orgasmic sex' and it was like a dream you always wanted to come true – would you go be with that person even if you were married/had a partner/boyfriend/girlfriend/whatever? Would you? Would one night be enough? Would you be good and say no? Hmmm…

Bottoms...
So, I was chatting to a male friend today and I mentioned this TV advert on at the moment , from McDonalds, showing one man handing another man a burger as a thank you for ‘introducing him to Pilates’. Basically it was two men watching an exercise class of women bending over. Yes, sexist twaddle but at least the women all had their collective arses well covered due to it being a prime time TV advert. I said to my friend something along the lines of ‘how does well covered butts bending over make one man thank another man for pointing out said butts?’ There was nothing sexual there and it was kinda dweeby thinking men were so desperate to look at arses be it on TV or otherwise and think sex. His response was along the lines of pointing out that women – I – would look at a man’s arse. Yes, I would but my thoughts aren’t sexual. What’s that you say? Lack of libido? No – hell no. I tend to look at the way a man carries himself and the confidence in his stride and stance before thinking of sex. And, I don’t believe normal women think about sex when they look at a male butt. But then we’re thoughtful creatures who expect and deserve a lot. Nice arse? Sure – but what else do you have for us?

Cheer, followed by going home….
1. Police halt access to the office and advise no entry for 48 hours. What do you do?
Cheer, followed by going home.
2. What action would you take if the computer network was down and unlikely to come back up for 24 hours?
Cheer, followed by going home.
3. No electricity? Your course of action is?
Cheer, followed by going home.
4. Car crashes into the building making work impossible due to damage. Your immediate response? Cheer, followed by going home.
5. There is a siege outside the front door of the office. Cheer - use the back door - followed by going home.
I mean, come on. Seriously? Who makes up these dumb arsed questions and what response do they expect from plebs? Well, gee, I would stick around for 24-48 hours, outside the office, dodging possible bullets waiting for the glorious moment I would be allowed back into the office, no matter if it was midnight or raining, to do my work because I’m just that damn dedicated.
